I've seen a lot of bloggers that keep personal to-do lists or "bucket lists". I was recently inspired by Laura at Life. Beauty. Laughter. & her one hundred list. This list contains 100 things that she wants to do in her lifetime.
I like the idea of setting goals & having dreams, so here is my list:
1. Travel alone
2. Keep my blog until at least 2015
3. Never have a big backyard without a dog in it
4. Throw a dinner party
2. Keep my blog until at least 2015

Like Laura, I stopped before 100. It's actually quite difficult to come up with such a big list & I think I should leave some open slots for any new dreams that come up.
What would be on your list? Am I missing anything major?
